The Dark Secret of the CEO

Chapter 95

When Luz’s belly began to grow, Matias told her to be careful with her seat belt. “-Luz, look, the experts don’t recommend this, but I’m telling you thinking that you’re going to want to save your baby… if you see that you’re going to crash, it’s better that you loosen the belt, so it doesn’t squeeze your belly. – But wouldn’t it be safer to stay like this? -In a rollover, just place your hands so the belt doesn’t squeeze you, if it’s just a collision, you better let go.” Luz was given terrible advice, especially since everyone recommended precisely the opposite, but the moment she saw the truck approaching, she thought she could get out, however, there was a garbage receptacle right in front of the other door and she didn’t have it. no choice but to curl up. The impact was on her side, almost in the tail of the car, George broke the passenger window to get out, while the curious approached to help the four vehicles involved in the collision. The first to arrive were the firefighters, who looked for a way to get Luz out. She was the priority, being unconscious and pregnant, everyone else is complaining, but awake. George is sitting on the sidewalk, being tended to for the gash on his forehead from which a lot of blood had come, trying to call Gerard. Several kilometers away, Gerard just wanted to get out of there, because something told him that he should call his Little Light. So, when the judge says that the hearing is postponed for one more week, to hear the sentence, he jumps out of his seat, without even saying anything to his client, and pulls out his phone. As soon as he sees George’s calls, he knows that hunch was not in vain, he dials him back and listens to all the noise in the background, before the man’s tired voice and all his senses tell him to run to the car. – What happened? – A truck… hit the car from the rear, where the lady was going… -Tell me that she and my son are fine – when people see her expression they just move so as not to get in the way- -She is trapped and unconscious, sir… forgive me -It’s not your fault, it was an accident, I just need to know which hospital they’re taking her to. As soon as George asks, Gerard takes off like a thousand big bad wolves are after him. He doesn’t know how he got there, but as soon as he gets off and runs to information, they tell him that he hasn’t arrived. He texts Dan and stands at the door, waiting for the ambulance to arrive, begging them to hurry up. But getting Luz out was not easy, especially since the car was between the truck and that receptacle. The firefighter who finishes the

cutting works says that it is a miracle that that woman did not end up pierced by one of the twisted irons. Only her broken glass produced a few scratches. Pulling her out of it, they realize that she used a small pink padded jacket as a cushion for her belly, but they can’t explain why she is unconscious. She is rushed to the hospital, as the paramedics realize that she most likely suffered a concussion to the head. Gerard sees that an ambulance arrives and realizes that it is her Little Light, he runs to ask for her, but they only tell him that he is unconscious. -You’re just asleep, a little nothing more… Four hours later, when she is taken to a room, connected to a monitor and whatever else is necessary, the doctor tells Gerard that Luz is in a concussion-induced coma. Apparently, she was able to protect her son, but in the attempt she hit her head, which caused mild brain swelling. -But… will she be saved? -Yes, these types of lesions usually show improvement within the first thirty-six hours, and the patient recovers completely between seven and ten days. When the inflammation goes down, we will be able to evaluate consequences. -After that, will they take her out of the coma? -Yes, it would only be a matter of hours for her to wake up-the doctor puts his hand on her shoulder and smiles at her-She will be fine. What he did to her, however reckless it seemed, saved her life and her baby. Dan stays with him when the doctor leaves and they go in to see her, she seems so fragile, like she does every time she falls asleep. Minutes later Matías arrives, Dan leaves to talk to Gerard, he comes in uniform and apparently brings news. - How is my little ampolletita? him-he tells her approaching her sister with tears in his eyes and caressing her face- -Well… within everything. We just have to wait for her brain to deflate. Some news? -Many… she didn’t end up crushed because the garbage truck hit the one that hit the car where my sister was going-she keeps silent, because she doesn’t know whether to tell Gerard now what else she discovered- -Speak, I know there’s more. -Gerard, I don’t know if you messed with the wrong person or not, but… this accident wasn’t such – Gerard’s tired eyes go to Matías and he frowns -. This was caused by… Gerard.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
